Trying desperately to become a runner. I mean, who WOULDN'T want those legs??

FINALLY - I am a Runner.

With a capital "R".

I started the couch to 5K program in August of 2009, ran my first 1/2 marathon in November 2010, my first 10K in January 2011, and NOW, I can call myself a runner.

Because I finally achieved those runner's legs? Unfortunately, no.

Because I got my very first chafing battle wound!

Can you believe I've been jogging running for a year and just NOW got my first scar?? It totally hurts. I forgot I had it after a shower and rubbed my towel over it and tears started running down my face.

To console myself I ate 4 cookies and a bowl of blue bell mint chocolate chip ice cream. After a week of not eating sugar. And now my tummy hurts. Why aren't cookies and ice cream good for you? Darn it.

I'm stalking my full marathon website so I can register as soon as they post the link. That way I can't back out! It's in November, so what's normal for registration opening??

Looking forward to my 5 mile run tomorrow that just turned into a 10 mile run to burn off all those cookies. My swimsuit is not going to be happy with me.

Way to go on the chafing! My worst one was under my chest and it was not pretty! Good luck on registering for your marathon. I am running one in Oct. and it doesn't open till May so no idea for yours in Nov. I feel the same way about cookies and ice cream but not as guilty about it as you do. That is part of my problem :)
